Description
Urban lit meets classic noir in this “absolutely sensational” debut thriller from a major new voice in crime fiction (Teri Woods).
With prison behind him, Eddie plans to seek refuge in Miami Beach. But new trouble begins when Eddie and his old friend/gangster Little Tony are pulled over by two cops, who rob Eddie of his money belt, which contains his life savings. Convinced it was a set-up, Eddie is determined to recover what is rightfully his, all the while trying to reform his childhood friend.
Along the way, Eddie falls for a Mexican beauty with a past she is trying to escape. But his romance is almost cut short when he is dragged into a drug war, becomes a murder suspect, and is forced to participate in an ill-conceived casino heist.

Praise
"This book is the truth, the truth about getting out of prison and trying to turn your life around. Your best friends become your biggest problems, and your old enemies do all they can to do you in. Eddie Santiago was between a rock and a hard place, but he managed to make it through. Unpredictable, with non-stop action, this is one of the most satisfying books I've ever read. Daniel wrote about the drugs, the sex and senseless-violence in an honest and new way. Congratulations Daniel Serrano... You earned that buck like a mutha...."

"Gunmetal Black is gritty and urgent from the first word until the last. Wow!"
—--Victor McGlothin National Best Seller
"Here's proof that street lit is not limited to African American characters or readers. Debut novelist Serrano adds a Latino flavor to the genre with this intricate, Spanish-slang-laced story about a Puerto Rican parolee's journey from jail cell to Chicago's rough streets as he encounters betrayal, police corruption, casual sex, and stunning violence. The tense plot will grip readers, who will clamor for Serrano's next work. For street lit collections and collections serving Hispanic populations."
